Stanley Eguma: Rivers United better side in win against Enyimba

Rivers United head coach Stanley Eguma insists his side fully deserved their 1-0 win against Enyimba in Wednesday’s Nigeria Professional Football League matchday-18 encounter at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port-Harcourt.

Ossy Martins scored the winning goal in the 12th minute from a simple tap in following good work, off a thrilling team move, by Wasiu Jimoh and Malachi Ohawume.

The victory put an end to Enyimba’s 12-match unbeaten run in the NPFL.

“There is improvement in our team as we have been playing some great football recently,” Eguma told reporters after the game.

“We played better than Enyimba today and we will continue working harder.”

Ossy Martins netted the solitary match winner for Rivers United against Enyimba.

Rivers United now sit in fourth place in the NPFL Group A table with 26 points from 18 matches.

The Port Harcourt club will now embark on a long trip to Illorin where they will face Kwara United on Sunday.

Adesunbo Onitiri, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Lagos Central Senatorial candidate in the last elections, has flayed the Federal Government’s order on Nigerians to surrender their guns before June 1. He said the order should be reconsidered in view of the growing insurgency and kidnappings in the country.
